Scrub-A-Dub

A friend of mine bought some art that I made for Ripple a while back and asked if I'd make her something else, too. So here it is! How could I say no? We were friends way back in jr. high and we used to design rooms on her cool Amiga computer! Faith is really awesome, and she has her own little cupcake business going. Visit Anytime Cupcakes to see her delicious creations! I wonder if they'd deliver cupcakes to Minnesota???

Kaleidoscope

This is a painting I just finished for our friends' darling baby girl (the little story goes counterclockwise from the bottom right corner). In other news: my wonderful husband has helped me paint the blue sky and green grass for mural number one, and I hope to get the design transferred to the walls this weekend. I am also making a coloring page for Cedric and the Dragon, a portrait of a darling two-year-old girl, and need to mail out my last two cards that sold on Ripple (thank you Shawn and Faith)! I am sure that I am forgetting something... Many thanks to all of you out there who take the time to stop by my little blog! I'll have a little more time when the kids go back to school, so stay tuned because I am planning my first giveaway! I'll give you a hint: It will be a signed copy of Cedric and the Dragon! ;)

Another Ripple

This dolphin is up for grabs today on Ripple (they have raised over $9K so far)! Amazing!!!
I believe these sea stars are still available, too! I have a few new things that I hope to post eventually... including sketches from a trip to the zoo and a new painting I did for my friends' baby! Hope you are all having a great weekend!

More Ripples

Ripple is making waves! Over $2,700 raised so far!! Holy Mackerel!!!

Here are some new paintings that could be yours for 10 clams apiece:

Shooting Stars, Star Fish, and Super Stars

Lost and Found

Here is something new I drew for Project OpenBook. It is an amazing collaborative effort to create poems and illustrations to help young girls in Nepal. The poem I illustrated is called Lost and Found and you can even vote on it if you'd like to! It was so fun to work in black and white! Quiet joy. Blissful, even. I absolutely loved it! If you feel like contributing a poem or illustrating one, check it out! Happy Thursday!!!

p.s. Kelly Light's Ripple project is making waves! Over $500 raised so far to help wildlife!

Ripple

Head on over to Ripple, a blog started by the fabulous Kelly Light. She wanted to make a difference for all the wildlife affected by the devastating gulf oil spill. Artists are donating works that you can purchase for $10 to help support relief efforts. Every little bit counts! These are the wee paintings I contributed with original titles such as: Blue Crab, Blue Bird, and Blue Turtle.
